World Quilt Show - New England.....Part 2

Here are more pics from this really great show......again, click on the pics to get a close up view!  There is some really great stitching here!  :o)


 Somehow I can't find the pic of this quilt that shows it all.....the second pic is nearly 1/4 of the quilt, and you can see from the two corners that the hand quilting was just spectacular!


This was so lovely, and again, the hand quilting was so beautiful!


These hibiscus and thistle flowers were gorgeous.....the pics do NOT do them justice!


This was probably the most amazing quilt there!  The girl's face was hand painted, but the shading and blending on it made you forget it was on fabric!  Just like a painting!  And the thread work was phenomenal.....I have close ups of her hair and the rooster's head to show it.....click and get a better view.  It was really amazing work!





I really loved this seascape......sweet turtle!







Wonderful colors on this one......love it!








Some quilts, like this last one, were in such a dark corner, you could hardly get a pic.  But I think you can still get an idea of just how wonderfully details these quilts were!  I should have the 3rd post finishing up the pics in a couple of days.

Hope you are having a great weekend!  I'm chop chop chopping......canning salsa!  Yum!
